03/18/2002 | N0SS WOW! In my 41+ years of SSing, this is the very FIRST time I have ever managed a Clean Sweep. I missed it by one section (VY1JA) last year. This year I worked VY1JA (N1RL opr) within the first couple of hours. My Elecraft K2 performed without a flaw! I started the contest already lacking sleep and crashed by midnight. Next year I'll get enough sleep to allow me to make the full 24 hours. The SS is STILL my very favorite contest. It was great to work so many friends and to know we're all still alive 'n kicking. -- N0SS
